My son came home on September 16 and returned to his apartment in Tokyo on 20th, one day after the mushroom hunt. He wanted to spend more time identifying the mushrooms he couldn't identify on the spot, but he was unable to. I took lots of photos of the mushrooms he had left, so he can study them the next time he returns.

Well, tamago take are supposed to be very tasty. I made mushroom soup using the tamago take and other mushrooms, as requested by my son, and I found the tamago take were not particularly tasty. The sad thing about them is that they lost all their vivid color while being simmered, turning brown.

You must be happy to see your son for some time!How I envy you going mushroom picking! If only I knew someone who likes it here.... (alone it's not fun and I'd be afraid of getting lost). I made dozens ok km as a child and teenager picking mushrooms.... obviously most of them don't look anything like Japanese ones, but when I saw your red mushroom I thought "attention! fly agaric" and I was right !). It's not deathly but still dangerous! You are luckily safe with your son when picking mushrooms!
